[ciapug] PHP file upload and permissions....

[Jonathan Bailey]

Sweet! After a chmod g+s, it works fine. BTW, the upload method is PHPs 
move_uploaded_file (or whatever it actually is) function. BTW, do 
directories need X set on them? It seems that if I remove X on 
directories, Apache complains about not being able to access .htaccess....
